Events

Join us as 3 Creative Groups battle it out to see
WHO will be the TOP
NHCC Iron Design team for 2010!

bGG Advertising - Piehead - SilverTech

The teams will be given information about a product or service – one that they haven’t seen or heard before, and will have one hour to come up with a plan to promote the product or service. Listen in as the teams brainstorm and flesh out their ideas. Then, each team will have twenty minutes to make their pitch! The audience will vote to decide the winner!
It’s a tremendous opportunity to get behind-the-scenes with some great creative minds and learn more about their approaches to the creative process, teamwork, and pitching an idea.

Online registration is here, and a brand new website is on the way...
The Club will now be using Eventbrite.com for ALL of our online registration for each monthly meeting and special events put on by the Club. (After all, we are all about promoting 'technology' so it's time we start using some of it, right?) All meetings and events will still be posted on our web site, which is also on it's way to being brand new, bigger and definitely better... better because it will allow our members to manage their own memberships right online.

We hate to hear "I would have come...but I didn't know..."
